OK, that is ugly.

I'd actually go so far as to say that it is less ugly without the helper
entirely, like:
diff --git a/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh b/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh
index 352a52e59d..10d50650ae 100755
--- a/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh
+++ b/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh
@@ -267,8 +267,9 @@ test_expect_success 'retain authorship w/ conflicts' '
git reset --hard twerp &&
test_commit a conflict a conflict-a &&
git reset --hard twerp &&
- GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=AttributeMe \
- test_commit b conflict b conflict-b &&
+ echo b >conflict &&
+ git add conflict &&
+ git commit --author="AttributeMe <a...@example.com>" -m b &&
set_fake_editor &&
test_must_fail git rebase -i conflict-a &&
echo resolved >conflict &&
but it is probably not worth spending more brain cycles on this. Any of
the solutions is fine by me.
(I do agree that being able to automatically catch these with a linter
would be worth brain cycles, but I cannot immediately think a of a way
to do so).
